This wine has a wonderfully complex if not hidden nose, initially the subtlety is hidden by youthful sappy cherry, but on a second look there is clove , cinnamon and rounded vanillin oak.

The palate is yet to develop the complexity of the nose , but will get there In time. The fruit is restrained, the acid structure is framing and the oak rounds out what is currently a savoury palate.

This wine has the potential to be something special, and i look forward to trying it in 3 - 5 years.
